Sara Ann Delano Roosevelt (September 21, 1854 – September 7, 1941) was the second wife of James Roosevelt I (from 1880), the mother of President of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt, her only child, and subsequently the mother-in-law of Eleanor Roosevelt. Delano grew up in Newburgh, New York, and spent three years in Hong Kong. She gave birth to Franklin in 1882, and was a devoted mother to him for the remainder of her life, including home schooling and living close by in adulthood. She had a complex relationship with her daughter-in-law Eleanor, which has led to media portrayals of her as a domineering and fearsome mother-in-law, though these are at odds with other views. She died in 1941, with her son, now President, at her side. ==Childhood== Sara Ann Delano was born at the Delano Estate in the town of Newburgh, New York, to Warren Delano, Jr. and Catherine Robbins Lyman. She had ten siblings, two of whom died as small children. Three more died in their twenties. In 1862, Sara, her mother Catherine, and six brothers and sisters traveled to Hong Kong on the clipper ship ''Surprise'', where they joined Warren Delano who had resumed his business of trading in opium, then still legal. On board ship, Sara enjoyed spending time in the sailmaker's loft listening to the sailmaker tell sea stories. Her brother Fred discovered Catherine's journal of the voyage many years later, in 1928.〔 〕 In 1865, she moved with her family back to Newburgh. She was educated at home, aside from a brief period in a girls' school in Dresden.〔 Delano was described as 5'10" (178 cm), and an intelligent debutante beauty in her youth. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sara Roosevelt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
